Horses for courses as Kenny takes the long-term view

IT WAS the moment people across Ireland recoiled in horror as they realised the muck they had been fed after it emerged 99% of the Coalition’s programme for government contained horse manure.

How such a gruesome strain contaminated all the prime beef election promises of hope, recovery and putting the bankers in their place (that place, preferably, being jail) remains a mystery, but the reputational damage will take along time to wipe away.

Not that Enda Kenny is so bothered as to consider a rebrand or anything. Oh, no, indeed, he has announced/threatened to go on as Taoiseach into the 2020s.
